Final Note: As of 2024, the USDA estimates that 30-40 percent of the food supply is wasted. That is a startling statistic, especially when over 40 million people in the United States experience food insecurity. I can’t help but wonder what would happen if the US spent a little less on defense (and other countries) and instead allocated more funding to the transportation and distribution of food. What would happen if we lived in a country where everyone not only had access to the same quantity but the same quality of food that I have access to on a daily basis?

“Cleos… Cleos, my friend… eet doesn’t matter how many fine eengredients you have eef you don’t have the cooks to cook them, and eet doesn’t matter how many cooks you have, eef you don’t have the expo and the runners to plate the food and make sure eet reaches the table.

  1. From your blog it’s easy to tell you truly appreciate great food. Quality trumps quantity and I have no doubt been spoiled as a result. The statistic and excerpt, excellent.
